An overview of the chapter

The goal here is to build a text editor with some cool nifty features. Let's call it the Footprint Editor.

We intend to include the following features in the text editor:

• Creating new documents, opening and editing the existing documents, and saving documents
• Implementing common editing options such as cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo
• Searching within a file for a given search term
• Implementing line numbering and the ability to show/hide line numbers
• Implementing theme selection to let a user choose custom color themes for the editor
• Implementing the about and help windows
